Mine never did - I got one years ago when the original "Ink & Paint" He-Man DVD's came out because one was badly scratched. AFter I used the cleaner/grinder, the disc didn't work at all!!!. If you do get one, try it out on something you don't watch much first!

One Gum Drop to bring them all and in the sweetness bind them

I received my usual standbys that are always welcomed:
Chocolate
Jewelry
Many frilly things that I would never buy for myself
$$$ make-up, while worth every penny $25 tube of mascara is still steep for me
A cheese board with the different cheese knives

And the one that threw me for a loop:
Hawaiian Sun drinks (my favorite flavors), Macadamia nuts, treats from my childhood (Zots, Super Lemons, Sweet & sour seeds, and Chupa chups), and Kona coffee!! This was not only delicious but reminded me of favorite memories as well.

I would have said kitty, that is camera shy or about to attack new minio.. owner.

I already have a Matrix, so I figured to adding some life to the dining room would be nice. So...potted plant! And the kitty is sneaky, I didn't realize Mulan was photobombing me until after I loaded the picture on my computer LOL

I received :
a complete vintage Star Wars death star from palitoy (only released in Uk), and signed by it's designer : Bob BRECHIN
A Vintage Dianoga from the US vintage Star Wars Death star playset by Kenner (the monster from the trash compactor)
And my BNovember subscription from Mattycollector which arrived on December the 21th!

My aunt came into town today, she was a bit under the weather for Christmas. So I got...

$20 worth of Lotto scratch offs, which netted me $23 in winnings.

A magnetic Marvel superhero dartboard... somthing oddly satisfying about pegging Dare Devil right between the eyes. Silly heroes. No comparison to my real one, but it looks good above the comic shelves. I also love a gift where a little thought was put into it, bless her heart just thinking of her superhero shopping cracks me up. She thought all the Transformers went together to make Voltron. So she's is pretty lost on nerd stuff.

MISC.

10 Zerboz Marvel Series 2 microfigures

5 LEGO series 8 minifigures

The Zerboz micro-figures (originally called Heroics) are about an inch high and come in balls about the size of a ping pong ball. You can find them Wal-Marts, Toys R Us, Walgreens, etc. I haven't taken any pictures of my own (which I can readily do if anyone is interested in seeing what production run figures look like) but here are a couple images from the official Facebook page (Zerboztoys is the name the company is using):

Grey Hulk looks like a really cheezed off Al Jolson. If he were, you know, really ripped.

About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,
I love to sing-a,
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a to an "I love you-a,"
I love to, I love to sing!
